If you travel or live in Bakersfield, you will find that while agriculture is a mainstay of the economy, oil is even greater. Bakersfield is responsible for 10% of the United States' oil supply and 1% of the world’s oil production. The town discovered an oil field in 1899, and Bakersfield became a boomtown immediately.

The by-product of steam in the Kern County oil fields is cogeneration, which makes electricity that helps power Kern and Los Angeles counties.
